Finally got my lazy butt around to typing this up.
Fang: about time, too.
BBR: shut up. I own nothing.
"Lyric!"
I buried myself deeper into the closet. Outside, I heard a crash and the sound of breaking glass.
"Show yourself you stupid piece of shit!" my mother's voice shouted, her words slurred slightly. I stayed hidden, making as little noise as possible.
After several moments, I heard a thud and a clang and concluded mother passed out.
Not hesitating for a moment, my pale fingers wrapped around the strap of my backpack. I opened the closet and snuck out the window. I flung my backpack over my shoulder, gently brushed my black bangs out of my oddly colored golden eyes and started walking.
I was halfway to my school when I realized I was being followed. I entered a dark alley and was confronted by a lady-but she wasn't human.
From the waist up she looked like a regular human. She had white hair tied in a bun and dulling grey eyes. But the waist down was two giant snake trunks for legs.
I glared at her, shifting the weight of my backpack. "What the bloody hell do you want?"
She smiled softly, though I detected a hint of venom in her expression. "Is that any way to speak to your elders, young one?" I noticed her S's were drawn like a snake's hiss.
My glare didn't waver. If anything, it intensified. "I'm a bloody fifteen year old!"
"So young," she hissed, "So fragile. So easy to break."
Before I could react, she lunged. Time seemed to slow as I dodged. But her teeth still sunk into my leg. A hiss of pain left my lips. Grimacing, I turned back around but ended up falling on the ground, my head spinning from lack of blood. My vision, though blurry, saw three figured handling the snake-lady. The last thing I saw before passing out was the lady turning into golden dust.
I left a few clue about Lyric's parent, and his bad habit. See that little button that says "Review this Chapter"? click it please!
